I used to use my old laptop for tuning only until one of HP's updates made it so that Vista Ultimate worked. I don't back up like I should, though.
I have a Ram Mount that I used with the old (much bigger) laptop, but I don't use it with this new small one. I'm thinking of selling it.

the new Acer Aspire One is nice too...
very small...
Wal-Mart has it here for $298

Seriously thinking about getting one to use tuning and logging...
My 15.4" screen Acer is really nice, but in hindsight...way too big for tuning use in the truck...

I have an Acer and it's nice for the price. I plan on using my wife's new Vaio I bought her for Christmas if and when I get a hold of a tuning program. I wouldn't think you'll need an entire computer dedicated to tuning because of performance, I think the size and convenience factor would come more into play.

I have a compaq 17" screen and just back up my tunes onto a 4gb flash drive. Need to backup every thing to my desktop tho just in case.

I jsut let my computer flop all over my console lol. It acutally is pretty stable there, highly visable, and no mount bs..

And I use this laptop for everything. Its nice to drive around pick up some free wireless internet, search the tuning forum and keep tuning without ever getting outta the truck.

I let mine lay on the console or in the passenger seat, but if you have to get hard on the brakes for whatever reason it'll end up on the floor. so i'd prefer to buy a mount for it.

I was using a 12" that has worked well for me. Hinges are now riveted to the screen and the wiring to the screen is shot so I picked up one of the little 9" Acers. I find it a little small for general use, not bad for in the truck. I might go with at least a 10" notebook if I did it again. Think I will be needing to wear the bifocals when tuning now!
